Finding it tough going on your own?
As a two-time New York Times bestselling writer
—as well as an editor of other bestsellers and a writing coach to bestselling writers—

Whether I work with you as a book consultant, writing coach, editor, or writer,

It all starts with a chat and/or some sloppy copy.
Call me for a free 20-minute chemistry and project consultation and I’ll explain.
Or if you’re looking for a simple self-publishing solution,
